Visited the famous tooth temple today, it is where a couple of Buddhas teeth are, poor guy bits of him are spread everywhere, anyway had a guide, who wasn't too bad, actually easy to understand, explained the entrance, was a replacement as the Tamil Tigers, had used 3 try bombs to attempt to blow up the temple, I believe 18+ people died, which is a surprise as it was so soon busy...
Temple itself, was the standard Buddhist makeup, a little smaller than I expected, tourist get priority here... by passing the long long queues, to get a glimpse, (is only opened 5 minutes) a few times a day, there were hundreds maybe thousand + crammed in.. to see... westerns clicking photos, locals with there hands together..
Also visited a bazaar.. now have a Sri Lankan cricket T-shirt.
Have been able to use my visa here, my driver has run out of money for fuel, even tho I paid for the last bit, have an IOU for 13 bucks, bet he will forget that one haha.
